SFD Wiki problem-access (creation pages)

by Jean7491

As observed by Steve, it appears to be a permissions problem of some kind that's preventing wiki users from editing the wiki or creating pages. I've been able to connect on the wiki.softwarefreedomday.org as registred user, but I was not allowed to create my personal page, nor a new country page "Belgium" (Europe/Belgium), nor my Team page "Ostend".

The access restriction of NorthAmerica were too strict. The general idea so far was to just have 2010/NorthAmerica/USA/Dallas - but I can see that this is not that well suited for the USA. So I will insert a state form, too. Come back in 10 minutes. Regards, Thilo

SFD Wiki problems

Hi, I created an account on the new wiki but haven't had any luck entering any information. I understand the event registration form won't be online for a while but I was hoping to manually create a page for our local event. I did a search for USA and found two existing pages: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010/NorthAmerica/USA http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010/NorthAmerica/USA/NY My event is in Dallas, Texas, so I assume I need to create a page called: http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010/NorthAmerica/USA/TX/Dallas however, my attempt to do this resulted in this error message: "You are not allowed to edit this page." I thought maybe this was because having a user account wasn't enough to get me write access, so I tried to create a profile page for my account. But when I click the links that says "Create my home page now!" I get the same error: "You are not allowed to edit this page." So there appears to be a permissions problem of some kind that's preventing wiki users from editing the wiki or creating pages. -Steve

Well it is up to the user what they will upload. I dont see us removing documents which are not open standards. That would hurt freedom even more. Regards, Thilo

Documents and document formats address data, not software (e.g. xapian). http://www.apdip.net/publications/fosseprimers/foss-openstds-withcover.pdf http://www.sutor.com/c/essays/osvsos/ When bringing attention to Software Freedom, it helps that open formats are used when promoting software freedom. The message does refer to attached documents, two of which (ODT {sic} and PDF ) are open. In the case of text, ASCII, UTF-8, XHTML, DocBook, ODF, and PDF/A are open formats. When accepting documents for indexing by a SFD project or sub-project, open formats help Freedom, closed formats hurt Freedom. Regards, /Lars

The old wiki is still available in read only mode on www.softwarefreedomday.org is you miss some of the information previously available) but you can already create your wiki page following the structure below: YEAR/CONTINENT/COUNTRY/CITY-REGION/TEAM A lot of Countries have been created already. We'll announce as soon as the official registration opens. Thank you for your patience. Fred
